Process Status and Schedule Assignment

During schedule assignment, Benefits Administration:

• Locates the employees who can be included in the process.

• Determines whether they have any unprocessed events.

• Assigns unprocessed events to the processing schedule.

• Determines which assigned events should be open for processing.

The Benefits Administration process can actively process only one event per participant at a time, but it can have several events scheduled for later processing. To manage the schedule, Benefits Administration uses an event status of Open, Closed, Disconnect,or Void. Events must have Open status to be processed.

If you are running Open Enrollment or Snapshot, the system opens an OE or SNP event for all employees with the correct company, BAS group affiliation, or both. If you run Event Maintenance, the system creates events for changes to employee job, labor code, and address information. It also creates events for employees who have fulfilled the trigger conditions for a passive event, and it takes note of unprocessed events that were manually inserted through the Review Bas Activity page.

Events are dynamically opened and closed for processing based on event date and event priority (and by manual event status overrides).
